Where can I find an inexpensive gauss meter for measuring pickups?

I need help finding a reasonably priced gauss meter.

Wow … I use (and LOVE) the Spin Doctor:

But I see they are no longer being made … oh no!! I guess we’ll all need to keep our eyes out. Precise charging of magnet gauss is ESSENTIAL to producing great sounding pickups!!!

I’ll report back if I find anything.

Okay … so With the spin Dr no longer available … here are a couple of things I found that seem like they would work well and not be too expensive:

This one is kinda clunky … but it measures in mT (good) and shows N and S orientation … only possible issue is it only reads to 2000mT, and some neo pickup magnets will exceed that … but VERY few!

Now, if ya have a PC at your bench anyway … this looks interesting:

Gauss level is, in fact Soooooooooo important ti a pickup’s tone. As a matter of fact, I just decided I’ll post a blog on it’s importance and details! So check the blog section out.
